Former President Obama left office over eleven months ago, which means there’s now an all-clear to push this kind of a story:

2017: WHY WON’T TRUMP DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THE HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTYhttps://t.co/kCfWIVf2pr https://t.co/SUQ4xKWp4Q— Razor (@hale_razor) December 27, 2017
Never fails. When a Republican is in the WH poverty and homelessness become stories again. https://t.co/RsRupO792h

After a mysterious eight year absence homelessness is suddenly newsworthy again. https://t.co/tKljib5UZi

Gee, what would make somebody bring that up now?
Anyone else see the coincidental timing on this WaPo story on extreme poverty & tax reform or is it just me? https://t.co/bmANzGin0S

The current tax bill promises to further exacerbate the problem by providing generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, modest tax cuts for many middle-class families and decreased spending on programs that help the poor, which currently constitute only 1.5 percent of federal outlays.
They’re so predictable.
“Returns”? Where was all this reporting on poverty when Lightbringer McLegTingle was POTUS?

I think I recall @BernardGoldberg talked about this in Bias with the media suddenly rediscovering homelessness under Reagan. It's like clockwork https://t.co/lrKLCtm4kZ

First three words render this story meaningless: " The U.N. finds…." Just more bitter anti-Americanism from two of the usual sources; one, sadly, itself a self-hating American.
